There are many types of money. I'm not talking about currency - that would be a redundant statement - but about the kinds of money.

There's old money, heavy and creased and valuable for its history.

There's new money, crisp and unlined and full of promise for all it will buy you.

There's even plastic money, uber-convenient and uber-sophisticated to carry around.

But what I've really learnt is that there is one kind of money that beats out all the others - and it is known as My money. Yes, the best kind of money in the world is Mine, not Yours.
